You can create in explorer. For first activity you can create in android studio. But for other activities you can use this steps:

  • right click on activity that u want to create large or x-large activity

  • show in explorer

  • copy xml file

  • go to main/res/large-layout in explorer and paste it then close explore.

It works successfully and large activity will appear in android studio.

Make sure you are following these steps:

Right click on res folder=> New => Android Resource directory => Then a dialog appear => Resource type from dropdown => select layout => and from qualifier => click on density => >> => then your desired density

Or you can do(This will definitely work)

Create folder by yourself

right click on res=> show in explorer=> under res folder=> create a new folder=> rename it to => layout-xxxhdpi

If you checked the directory of res/layout-xxxhdpi and it wasn't there so probably that might be a bug. But, you can however try to add the directory manually.

Just go to /res folder of your project and add a new folder called layout-xxxhdpi.

Please use issue tracker or, report a bug of the Android Studio by clicking on the Help -> Report a bug if you insist that it does not exist in there.
